Telltale's evil plan to fool everyone.

SPOILER WARNING:

The Walking Dead - The Walking Dead: Season 2

First of all, this is a thread all about the "Ithoughtyouweredead" and Season 2 as a whole.

Lets start by discussing the trailer. Its pretty obvious that TTG wanted us to think that Nick was Kenny, for the following reasons:
1.We see Nicks back, and he has the same type of clothes and hat as Kenny.
2.When Nick,Pete and Clem approach the river with the dead bodies(RIP ROMAN D;) Nick is right next to Pete in the game but in the trailer he isnt.

Im sure TTG knows that we all expect Kenny/Lily/Molly(and obviously Vernon because he is the best chaAKSDJFNKJSDBAKSJFB) but im sure they've thought about the consequences of their choice. Still, i think people would be pissed no matter what. Heres why:

1.Kenny
If its Kenny, we'll have an "all out war"(see what i did there) between the people who are happy its Kenny and the people who think he shoudlve stayed dead. HOWEVER if they do a walker Kenny, i think it would be a missed opportunity. He was a great character and i think they could bring him back for the timespan of 1 or 2 episodes. What im saying is that if they bring him back, they SHOULD kill him before EP5. And im not saying he should die like Omid did, that was good for a heartwrenching intro but with Kenny its different.
Also people WILL complain about the realism of the situation, those "hardcore survivalists i need to keep my strength up too save the bullet" kinds of people. Kenny is no Tyrese, but that doesnt make it impossible for him to survive. What if when we see him, he is missing a leg/arm because he was bitten(it actually looks like he was, you can go back to the Ben death scene and look closely at the second walker that Kenny fights, it looks like he gets bit and you can hear a specific bit sound)? That makes sense. Or he could be with Molly? Thats 2 for the price of 1.

2.Molly
Well we can still see Molly later but her character was just a badass 1 episode type of thing. If we see her she should serve some sort of purpose to the story, and as of right now, we dont know where Telltale is leading us.

3.Lily
Now people are going to hate me for this. I might be completely wrong and in the end its Lily, but heres why i think she's not(not hating on Lily, i was proLily on my original playthrough).
First of all, this Lily was supposed to be Woodbury Lily, the one who kills the Governor in the comic book, but Robert Kirkman wanted to buy more groceries for his family(he uses that word in almost every fucking interview,i swear) and i personally thought that Telltale would stick to the "If you havent read the book about Lily, you can consider Game Lily the Comic Lily." In ep 5 you can see that in her description, it either says she was left behind or left with the RV, but both things say "and was never seen again."
So no, it wont be Lily.

CONCLUSION
People, stop putting so much effort into hating eachother and all that. We will see what happened with Kenny. We might see what happened to Molly and Vernon. We must however concentrate on the new cast and stop riding the waves of awesomeness the previous characters had. Omid and Christa died quite fast and now its all about us, as Clementine, to find new people we can trust. And see what happened to my favourite character Na-gets slapped

Lost. Could mean they abandoned him with the boat, killed Vernon, left Vernon for walkers. I want to believe that Vernon still had the boat and left Savannah and we'll never see him again. But if he does appear, i'd like it cause he's a doctor.

Don't know why people are downvoting you two when a walker Kenny would be way too contrived for me. It's been way more than 16 months (The scene at the rest stop implies several months has passed since season 1, due to Christa's baby bump) so I would have a hard time believing that Walker Kenny could somehow make his way from Savannah, Georgia all the way to the exact spot in the country side in North Carolina where Clem is. Would it be a dumb coincidence for alive Kenny to show up right where Clem happens to be? Yeah but I could probably buy it, but a zombie wandering over to North Carolina and somehow be in good enough condition that the player can recognize them? Not likely.

Also since they said they would be tying in choices from season 1 and 400 Days, Kenny would be a decent way to provide a link for our choices from season 1. If they do bring back Kenny, I expect him to last two-three episodes tops. He's my favorite character but I think it would be a nice way to kill Clem's last link to the original group by having him die a brutal death right in front of her.

Due note, when Kenny does finally die I'm hoping it's not an Omid death where he shows up and dies seconds later. That's a writing move Telltale can only do once and get away with.

Kenny haters are down voting them. It's sad, really. Can't they just let us like who we want to like? This thread isn't specifically about 1 character, it's about a lot. Kenny included. So they really need to get a grip, relax and go like who they like. Without the hate.

Well, we need to look at what makes logical sense: Telltale would have to explain in detail how/why he escaped. When saving Ben, it would make no sense for him to lock himself in then try to escape once the lurkers are upon him. Christa's scenario is unlikely, since he has no weapon and would have to go through a several story lurker infested building and wander through streets with literally thousands of lurkers without being bitten. Unless you can detail how he could escape in Christa's scenario, I brand him as dead.
Gotta believe my brain first, and all signs point to him being dead.

We have no idea how many walkers are in that building and he has access to a weapon, it being the pipe Christa used. People bring up that there's tons of Walkers in the streets but Lee can be one armed and walk through an entire street full of them without a scratch so that makes it pretty likely that Kenny could just walk through them too.

I know they're dangerous scenarios, but they are just way too damn ambiguous for such a major character. Christa and Omid say they didn't even see what happened in the Ben scenario and Gavin Hammon says that they didn't use the scene where Kenny was supposed to clearly die (Death screams). I know Kenny's a badass and all, but if he was zombie chow I expect to hear some death screams. No one's tough enough to just grit their teeth when getting their intestines are getting ripped out.

The only way I could see him surviving is by smearing himself with walker blood, but he doesn't know that it works. And when you are tackled by a crowd of lurkers, you're dead in moments: no time to scream. Besides, he is lost in the middle of the city: Lee only walked down about a couple hundred meters.

Kenny's voice actor explicitly said they had death screams all lined up for Kenny to use during his death scenes but Telltale decided not to use them. That leads me to believe he got out of there alive.

yeah in a Behind the Scenes video of making the Walking Dead the voice actor never says Kenny dies, he only describes it as "whatever happens to Kenny"
the link to the video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJZzthg8EU8 and the specific part is 25:15 onwards. Enjoy

Well, he was just a hyperactive kid, but he was really annoying at times. It's like with all children, if you're in a good mood it's funny when they act that way, and when you're not they're a real pain in the ass. For me it felt like he was in the way all the time.

Mine weren't, though, the best explanation of relationship is "strained". My Lee backed Kenny in all but two instances - my Lee refused to kill Larry, and refused to drop Ben. I would say Kenny dislikes my Lee's choices, but not necessarily my Lee personally. Besides, I always took care of Katjaa and Duck for Kenny, even when I didn't always back Kenny himself.
